A Wild Race Against Time
About The Event
This summer, join CityCenterDC in welcoming A Wild Race Against Time, a monumental public art exhibition by world-renowned artists Gillie and Marc.
Featuring large-scale bronze sculptures of endangered animals, the installation invites visitors to experience wildlife up close while raising awareness for global conservation efforts. Through their charity, Love the Last Wildlife, the artists aim to inspire action and support for protecting endangered species before it’s too late.
Unlike a traditional sculpture exhibition, A Wild Race Against Time is an interactive world where you can step inside the art and experience unforgettable encounters:
- 🐼 Sit inside a convertible next to a giant panda
- 🐯 Ride alongside a Bengal tiger and Sumatran elephant
- 🦁 Pose with a giraffe and lion racing on a scooter
- 🐻❄️ Stand beside a polar bear skiing at speed
- 🐢 Join a Galápagos tortoise on roller skates
- 🦧 Take photos with a chimpanzee and koala on a Vespa
- 🐋 Walk among a gorilla, rhino, orangutan, zebra, whale, and more
